| Summary |
"Ruth Fielding of the Red Mill; Or, Jasper Parloe's Secret" by Alice B. Emerson is a novel penned during the early 20th century. It chronicles the journey of a young girl named Ruth Fielding as she relocates from her old home in Darrowtown to live with her Uncle Jabez Potter at the Red Mill. Along the way, Ruth encounters various challenges and adventures that define her character and new life. At the start of the story, Ruth is traveling by train to Cheslow, feeling a mixture of excitement and anxiety about leaving her friends behind. After some initial discomfort and an unexpected stop due to a dog named Reno bringing attention to an emergency on the train tracks, Ruth’s connection with the dog ultimately leads to the discovery of its injured master, Tom Cameron. As the plot progresses, Ruth learns about her uncle’s reclusive and severe nature, contrasted by the warmth of the Cameron family, particularly Tom and his sister, Helen. The opening chapters showcase Ruth's resilient spirit as she navigates her transition into a new environment filled with emotional and physical obstacles.
